Anybody else notice how often Northrop came up? Those guys are consistently cutting-edge, and sometimes even ahead-of-their-time: The areas where the YF-23 surpassed the YF-22 are areas where 6th Gen fighters will improve on 5th Gen capabilities.

[@F15ElectricEagle]

Your remark about how truly innovative and way ahead of its time Northrop Grumman reminded me of a joke about why the YF-23 lost to the YF-22 in the ATF program. The ATF program was looking for a 5th Gen fighter. Lockheed Martin won because it brought in a 5th Gen fighter. Northrop Grumman lost because it brought in a 6th Gen fighter. What is even funnier is decades later, the military aviation industry is developing the 6th Gen fighter. If you do a search the internet for 6th Gen fighter, many of the designs and conceptual arts and image of the 6th Gen fighter is based on or take many traits of the YF-23.

YF-23 is basically the best fighter to be produced until this day and got denied just cause of money someone got. Northrop got effed by the goverment so many times even though they really produced better planes than their competition. I am suprised that they didnt sell their know how to others yet.

[@F15ElectricEagle]

What is sad is Northrop Grumman is starting to deemphasis the military aviation R&D and manufacturing sector of its business in favor of concentrating more on products related to space technology, satellites, navigational system, advance composite materials, and A.I. systems. In fact the B-21 might be the last manned military aircraft NG developed and builds. NG got so screwed over by the U.S. Government with the F-20 and YF-23 that NG's senior executive management believes manned military combat aircraft as a product is just too high risk for the company to develop and produce going forward. Hence, NG didn't even seriously bid in the NGAD fighter competition.

[@khandimahn9687]

The YF-23 was never produced. Only a couple prototypes were ever made. We will never know if it would have out performed the F-22 had it gone into full production. But damn, it was one sexy beast!

Supersonic jet inlet design is a very thorny problem. The air has to be "slowed down" before the jet can use it - which essentially means, relative to the ground, speeding it up until it's travelling at the same supersonic speed as the aircraft. This has to be done in a few feet and a fraction of a second. Apparently MOST of the wind tunnel work on the supersonic airliner Concorde was devoted to getting the inlets right.

[@pigmoonk2545]

YF-22 didnt change the emissions requirement to maintain stealth. It just used techniques to prevent a lock by the enemy's radar. It didnt disappear. It was just difficult or impossible to lock on even when it was using its radar or emitters.

honest review: I like the concept/the Idea, but it gets boring at one point. sometimes there is to much information. also when you let it run in the background, you missout when you actually switch to the next plane. A 2-3 sec brake after being done with an aircraft and then go on to introduce the next aircraft. But its a good video. Conclusion: More brakes throughout the video. Also when talking or switching topics about mechanisms or aircrafts

[@bullettube9863]

The American and British aerospace industry freely shared information on new techniques which then fell into the hands of Russian designers. Thus the "break throughs " attributed to the Russians were actually "borrowed" from the western industries. The forward wing style of the Russian Y-23 was five years after NASA had already flown their forward wing jet. The Tiger Shark went into production as the Talon trainer and is still in use today. A french engineer is suspected of selling design plans of the Concord to the Russians. While the Democracies encourage independent thinking the Russian and Chines require political ideological loyalty first over all else. Western companies compete with each other to come up with great designs!

@@ernestoherreralegorreta137 I don't think F35 is a plane comparable to an F22, it's not designed for air superiority roles however it can still do them.

Might not have silly flight performance or huge internal bay. But the avionics on it are second to none, with the block 4 upgrade I believe or a later block can't remember it should have a completely revolutionary variable cycle engine. Yeah it crashed a few times so what, every single fighter jet crashed, kind of what happened when you push the current technology to its limits. But it won't be grounded. Also you got to consider the doctrine it would be used in which is what everyone always forgets about when talking about fighter jets.

The Tiger shark was a huge missed opportunity for United states export. Great and somewhat state of the art Digital avionics suite for the time (that was later incorporated into the F-18/F/A-18). It had BVR capability along with good dogfighting Good stream line of logistics as most the parts were off the shelf components and maintenance as easy, even compared to the F-16. Insane scramble time (10 minutes) with the only modern fighter matching that kind of readiness being the JAS-39 SAAB Gripen. High agility for a lightweight fighter, with its airframe, it can go above the capabilities of a 9g strain (the aircraft mind you). The only major downsides of this bird was it not having enough hardpoints for heavier weapon loads, and politics (specifically those revolved in texas)...The more I read about entrenched military thinking (POTUS) and those involved, the more i realize some of these guys look for political interest and not national interest. With modern upgrades, this would be a very great affordable "good enough" bird for poorer countries of a low military budget.

1:06:17 you almost had a great synopsis of the Yak-141 then you had to go and perpetuate the same bullshit myth that is spread far enough around the internet. The 3 Bearing Swivel Nozzle was a design patented by Pratt and Whitney both in 1969 then in 1990 the 3BSM,intended for the F-35’s lift fan was also patented again. The Yak-141 did not influence the west, rather the opposite. The first 3BSM design was to be used for the Convair 200 which never materialized, but in 1992 with the JSF the same 3BSM Pratt and Whitney already created in 1967 was resurrected for the F-35B. When Lockheed Martin and Yakovlev collaborated, the exchange was flight testing data. It basically told Lockheed that the concept was feasible and would save them 5 years trying to create a proof-of-concept to understand how it works. They had the data so they could immediately go to prototyping their 3BSM, which was a lot more mechanically complex than the Yakovlev design. So no, that’s a stupid myth, the Yak-141 had zero impact on the F-35 design, given its STOVL system existed since 1967. The only change is the F-35 would’ve spent more time in the prototype stage gathering testing data for the lift system.

And I'm not talking about the use of hydraulics I'm talking fly by wire. It could take off fly to it's target and launch its missiles and return without the pilots directions

@@crushthis123 1. The German He-111 had the first electrically servo-operated FBW system in 1941. 2. The top speed achieved by the Arrow prototype in level flight was M1.9. 3. There would be no need to classify the climb rate of a cancelled prototype after 60 years. Get real. 4. The U.S. had interceptors in either the concept or design stage that were superior to the Arrow. They were cancelled. The equivalent F-106 was in production. The superior F-4 Phantom was being flight tested. So much for "petrified". 5. The avionics and flight control systems you allude to were never installed or tested.

The form factor and edges on the YF23 offering a least overall SCR in over all 3D angles, however SCR of F22 is a just bit lower is limited at a narrow frontal angle. It’s pilot was told to steered head on at enemy fighter to avoid being locked on. That is why enemies air and ground radars can pick up F22 from all other angles. In combat F22 has head on first strike advantage due to low SCR but is vulnerable from the side or behind. This isn’t a secret any more. F22’s superior SCR is only advantageous with shorter and shorter wavelengths is however very vulnerable when enemy use a much longer wavelength detection signal. Detection under long wavelengths equipments F22 is just another fighter jet.

My apologies, I could only stand five minutes of this shite. Please, at least get your facts right.

What came first? American weight scale pound or Britain's money pound?

Do a documentary about the Israeli Lavi jetplane please.

I'll never forget how massively disappointed i was at hearing the F-35 won out over the F-23 contract. It wasn't even my country, i just loved the look of the F23 design 😂

[@bryanrussell6679]

F-22 won over the YF-23. The F-35 beat the X-32. 😁

@@bryanrussell6679 Oh yeah, that's what i meant. Good catch 🤭
